"Beautiful home, well located with a lovely view of White Sand Lake. Serene setting, with lots of seating area outside, and yet close to town and shopping areas. The home is spacious, allowing us to spread out and yet be together. Lots of bathrooms really helped when 14 women tried to get ready to go out. And we really appreciated the dining area where we could all comfortably sit together without crowding. We would consider booking it again. (One caveat, we didn't realize the 14th sleeping area...

Upon arrival and discovering the lack of any cooling capacity on the hottest day of the year the host denied the refund request. Combine this with the complete lack of WIFI (Advertised amenity) and you have the longest inferno of a night imaginable. Do not rent this place in the summer and be sure to consider...
